At Sport Foundation we believe that Sport is very important to build well being, to have a healthy way of life. Let's discover our program "Bien Manger, C'est Bien Joué" (Well eaten, well played) : A massive nationwide awareness campaign aimed at teaching elementary school children (6 to 12 years old) about the importance of healthy eating habits and consistent physical exercise. This innovative educational campaign was simultaneously implemented in schools and sports clubs all over France as well as across all platforms of digital and traditional media. Due to a unique partnership with leading French broadcaster TF1, a series of 16 short films were produced to support this campaign. Each film features a top level athlete, a regional youth sports club and discipline as well as a specific nutritional message. These films were broadcast in heavy rotation on TF1 Jeunesse, the leading entertainment brand for children in France. Actions : Extensive Training for Coaches, Youth Sports Clubs Awareness Campaign Presence at many Major Sporting Events Campaign of short educational films produced in partnership with TF1 featuring top level professional and amateur athletes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hA01EBjUa8) Impact : Launched in 2004, this campaign is a bellwether in sport education Short film reached an audience of 21 million viewers 600 000 children directly implicated 5 National Sports Federation Partnerships (initiated by National Handball Federation)

This program fosters the integration of disenfranchised youth into the competitive current job market by facilitating the challenging transition from school to the workplace via a spectacular pedagogy and educational techniques originating in sports education and sports’ values, with top level sports clubs. The results : 15 sessions in 5 elite sports clubs throughout France 150 participants 80 % of our graduates found work 65 % of our graduates got full time employment (CDI)

What is the fundamental value of sport for education? On which value should educators and teachers insist: team-spirit, courage, performance, respect…?

Should any sport event have an educational or social part ? Who will finance it ? Who will be the actors ?

Sports many educational purposes. So the end in itself question leads us in circles. They key is to have a variety of sports programs (ranging from varsity to basic physical education requirements) to ensure that all student can benefit from physical activity.

Should sports education be a means to an end or an end in itself? What values from the world of sport can be brought to bear in wider academic pursuits.

The Moderator of this panel is asking us: "Qatar is the first country in the Middle East to be awared the hosting of the World Cup (in 2022). How important do you consider this development and how do you think it will change the image of the Middle East both internally and from the global perspective?"
